All the users will be having their separate accounts on this app which will be connected to their email id.

Any book that the user wishes to read, will be entered by him in the search box which works based on query input. The query may be an author name, the book name, or the subject to which the book is related, and will also work on specific keywords input. Apart from searching the books online, the user can save the book he/she likes in the favorites bar.

The Book Finder Mobile App is suitable in the present scenario as the world is being digitalized then why not the education system? On the profile of the user, one can easily view the books he/she has read.

The Book Finder Mobile App will be completely efficient and transparent to the reviews of the people on the book and its price. To get more details about the book one can click on the book and get further grave details.

This Book Finder Mobile App will be using The Google Book API for providing all the books. Further, the FAQ section provides all the necessary details that the user may need about the app.

The app also has a complete User Interface attached to the firebase a perfect login system with an email id and password and a forgotten password too.

This mobile-based application stands for the need of students at any time at their fingertips without any barriers in place.

General Introduction to the Topic

Student Book Finder Mobile App Project, an android application is a user-friendly app, with a well-developed User Interface, a login module using the email address and the password, and a signup system for new users provides the user with the ability to search for any book one wants to read.

Besides the user Interface of the Login system, we have also created a navigation bar to provide various other features that the app provides,

It has various fragments the profile page, the favorites column, the About us section, the FAQ section, and an option to Sign Out from the account recently logged in. We have abstracted the android application using the Google Book API which supports us in enabling the various books to the users they are searching for.

We felt the need of developing this app looking at the current scenario where it is impossible to learn or get a book from the library and so the user can access the book from the app store the book whichever one likes on the cloud storage available for the profile.

For testing our application, last we will connect the app with the Google Book API and will allow a user to create a new account and access all the features of the app. This is all our app does and will be the outcome of our project on completion.

How does the App work?

  • As soon as the user enters there would be a splash screen displaying the app name and the copyrights reserved.
  • Then there would be a login page for the user to enter the email address and the password as set if the user has already signed up. For new users, there will be a sign-up page.
  • After logging in, there will be a search page having a search bar, an opportunity for users to enter any keyword related to the book.
  • As the app will be connected with the Google Book API the resulting books found will be displayed on the page itself.
  • According to interest and the choice of the user, the user can click on the book and know details about the book(the price, the author name, the reviews of the book, what the book is all about, and even maybe the pdf copies of the book if we can)
    The user will have the choice to read the book then and there on the spot or can add it to the favorite section.
  • The favorite section will store the book till the user wants it.
  • For any help or details about how the app functions, one can visit the FAQ section.
  • After the work is done the user can sign out from the account.
